April 24th, 2013. TV Guide Interview.
- Interviewer: So how was it that you managed to keep things... Separate, on the set? Like if Elliot and Olivia were fighting, how did you make those vibes of contention disappear after the director yelled cut?
- Mariska Hargitay: I apologized. Right there in front of everyone. But a big part of him and I were Elliot & Olivia, for years, really. So we needed time alone to sort out the grey areas.
- Christopher Meloni: That's what we called it then at least. [laughs]
- Interviewer: How did you two handle rumors of an affair?
- Chris Meloni: We gave them what they wanted. They want pictures of us holding hands like we do, because we're friends? Fine. Nobody knows the real truth, it's only for her and I to know.
- Interviewer: What about Peter?
- Mariska & Chris: Who? [they both laugh]
- Mariska Hargitay: We're both very thankful to have spouses in our lives who support us so much, even with the countless allegations.
- Interviewer: Last time we were here, Chris, you jumped Mariska. What do you have up your sleeve for this round?
- Chris Meloni: [pulls Mariska Hargitay into his lap] A little recap of last night.
